Poultry-house Construction 
What objections are there to shingles 
in place of rooting paper on poultry- 
houses, tin or galvanized iron sheet in 
nlaee of wooden droppings boards, nests 
in center of laying house, raised about 
2% ft. from floor? My idea is to elimi¬ 
nate as much as possible the droppings 
board cracks and nest* from secreting 
mites, etc., during the daytime, u, L. K. 
New York. 
Roofing paper is more used upon poul¬ 
try-houses than wood shingles, for the 
reason that the latter do not last well 
upon a roof of less than one-tliird pitch, 
and poultry -house roofs, as ordinarily 
built, have little pitch, 1 know of no 
objection to metal-covered droppings 
hoards or to nests in the center of the 
house. Placing the nests under the drop¬ 
pings boards is done to save space and 
keep the center of the house clear. There 
is no other reason for it, and there is the 
objection that it puts them iuto the 
dirtiest part of the house and where 
mites can most easily hide about them. 
1 know of no reason, either, why drop¬ 
pings boards should not be covered with 
smooth concrete, from 1 to 2 in. in thick¬ 
ness. 1 have recently seen poultry-house 
floors so covered, giving a smooth sur¬ 
face easily kept clean and said to be very 
satisfactory. M. B. D.
